Caring For A Ginseng Bonsai - My Very simple Tricks

The Bonsai Ginseng is an excellent beginner bonsai for many ages given its hardy nature and power to bounce back if it is often disregarded.

Other names for this plant contain Ficus ginseng and ginseng bonsai, no matter its name it is an excellent plant because it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor conditions (excluding excessive temperatures).

You may often find that when you buy a Bonsai Ginseng plant it has small rocks or pebbles glued to it around the foot of the trunk. The reason behind this is baffling and possibly has something to do with department stores such as Walmart dressing up them to look fairly and therefore drive sales.

Fairly frequently these plants come within an average looking pot (not a bonsai pot) too little to allow it to actually grow and thrive, which will be what you as an owner will need.

The initial step following a Bonsai Ginseng purchase must be to take off the pebbles and if possible re-pot the plant right into a better and somewhat bigger quality pot so that you can enable better drainage and room for the plants roots system to grow and take hold. The benefit of which further down the course, better trunk and root system and will be a healthier, more compact leaf.

It truly is essential to give the plant a superb soak and do this by watering from over. This will definitely remove and salts in the soil and in a way will cleanse the plant.

Something I have learnt over time and through trial and error is that brought indoors during autumn prior to the cooler months of winter and Bonsai Ginseng like to be left outside during summer. The reason being that the Ficus ginseng plant is of a tropical tradition where home is in warmer parts of the planet like Taiwan. Clearly, keeping the plant indoor or outside is determined by your geographical area and also the temperatures which are common in your place so that it can be worthwhile speaking with the local nursery to get specifics for your own climate.

Finally, pruning is something which will be tempting for most bonsai owner's that are new but it is important to not jump the gun particularly after having followed the steps above. Enabling the plant to actually take hold and root systems to grow is important before pruning your Bonsai Ginseng. You do your research and can begin pruning, but recall steady wins the race once new buds start to form towards the very top of the plant!
